LowFlyingHawks

LowFlyingHawks is the sludgy, doomy metal project of Dale Crover (Melvins) and Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle/Fantomas), and new album "Makebelieve" drops in October for our listening pleasure.  Check out the chugging cacophony of "Out for Blood" below and pre-order the LP here from the duo.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - Rosemary's Baby

"The Director's Cut" by Fantomas remains one of my favorite albums ever, its collision of Mike Patton, experimental metal and noise, and horror movie soundtracks feeling like it was tailor made just for me.  Here's their cover of the theme from "Rosemary's Baby" for our Daily Jam.  What have you done to its eyes?!

Dave Lombardo

Dave Lombardo, the amazing drummer for Slayer, Fantomas, and a bunch of other projects is set to release his first solo album in May.  Solo drum album...fuck yeah.  Check out our first taste, "Journey of the Host," below and pre-order the "Rites of Percussion" LP here from Ipecac.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - Spider Baby

Better late than never i guess, so here's today's spooky jam from one of my favorite albums ever.  Check out Fantomas and "Spider Baby" below, our Daily Jam.

King Buzzo with Trevor Dunn

New music from King Buzzo, or any Melvin member for that matter, is always welcome news around these parts.  And this time around, paired with fellow Fantomas and former (maybe reunited) Mr. Bungle member Trevor Dunn, i'm all in.  Listen to the crunchy acoustic blues of "Science in Modern America" below and pre-order the upcoming "Gift of Sacrifice" LP here from Ipecac.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - The Omen (Ave Satani)

From "The Director's Cut," one of my favorite album of the '00s, here's Fantomas's superb and splintering rendition of Jerry Goldsmith's theme from "The Omen."  Check it out, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam (Mike Patton Week) - Der Golem

"The Director's Cut" from the Mike Patton fronted supergroup Fantomas is a perfect album, a string of film score themes morphed and mutated into bursts of progressive metal and weirdness.  I could easily pick and hype any track from the record for today's Daily Jam, but i've settled on "Der Golem," a heavy slab of horror originally penned by Karl Ernst Sasse for the silent German expressionist film.  Check it out below.

Tomahawk

I've always been pretty retarded for anything Mike Patton is involved in, from Faith No More to Mr. Bungle to Fantomas to Lovage.  Tomahawk is no exception.  The "super" group released a single for new song "Stone Letter" on Black Friday and new LP "Odd Fellows" is due in January from Ipecac.  Hooray!  Watch the video for "Stone Letter" below.
